Unlike most snakes, brown tree snakes are happy to eat prey they didn't kill themselves, and they are highly vulnerable to acetaminophen... ... To keep the mice bait from dropping all the way to the ground, where it could be eaten by other animals or attract insects as they rot, researchers have developed a flotation device with streamers designed to catch in the branches of the forest foliage, where the snakes live and feed. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/us-govt-air-drop-toxic-mice-guam-snakes Bonfire party entertainment not yet announced, but we assume it will be DeadMau5."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

rifleman 70 #3 February 23, 2013 Of course, the other possibility will be similar to what happened in the UK when farmers started introducing rabbits with mixomatosis into healthy warrens - basically you'll end up with a species resistant to the control measures because they'll be the only ones that survive to pass on their genes. In the UK wild rabbits are pretty much immune to mixy which means that when there's an outbreak it's usually domestic pets that suffer from it.Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
